According to 543 members of the American Medical Association's Council on Science and Public Health there is no evidence at all that the use of hormones prevents aging.
These doctors do warn of potential side effect. In fact they have been of that opinion since 2000.

So whom will you believe Oprah Winfrey, Suzanne Sommers, or some other quack selling a product they get a piece of a 50 billion dollar pie from or the AMA.
You might get lucky and grow a third breast or maybe a most fashionable third eye.
The fact is that no one knows or has tested what side affects anti-aging hormone use might cause. The class action line forms to the right.
However, there is solid scientific evidence from Dr. Sara Sachs of the University of Michigan reported in the Archives of Dermatology that a wrinkle reducing product does exist.
In a study of 21 patients with pre cancerous skin disease caused by sun damage that produces scaly rough spots and lesions, treatment with Efudex (fluorouracil) proved to reduce rough spots, brown spots, and reduce wrinkles in forty-two percent of the patients in the trial. The majority of the patients reported softer smoother skin. Replicate studies confirmed these results.
The side affects include a very pronounced reddening of the area the cream is applied to.
The drug has been used for cancer treatment for forty years and no other adverse side affects are documented.
The study was funded by the drugs maker Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, which is cause for some suspicion of these claims. Replication by independent labs would be conclusive proof.
So the hormones do not work and the cancer drug may work.
Keep your vanity and swallow your pride if you took the hormones and give them up.
One should note the variety of selling of Efudex already going on by the difference in the headlines of the articles noted below.
